Q560 Experimental Methods in Cognitive Science

Prof. John K. Kruschke

Q560 for Spring of 2004 will have a different emphasis than the version taught in Spring of
2002. Whereas the Spring 2002 version was a survey of empirical
methods across the cognitive and social sciences, the version of
Spring 2004 will emphasize experimental methods. The textbook does,
nevertheless, describe a number of non-experimental or
quasi-experimental methods. The goal of having this course in the Cog
Sci curriculum is for all Cog Sci majors to have a basic training in
experimental methods.
¶ For more details, see the table of contents of Borden and Abbott (2002). In
that linked page, notice that the left-hand column of chapters
actually consists of links to expanded chapter descriptions.

Exemptions:
Any student who can show evidence of having previously taken a
comparable course is waived from taking this course to fulfill their
Cognitive Science requirements. Most Psychology majors fall into this
category.
